Tal Beeri, head of the research department at “Alma,” has been closely monitoring terrorist organizations in Lebanon for years and spearheaded the research for the position paper. He emphasizes that the crucial question within the Shiite terrorist organization is not whether to launch an attack on the Galilee with its forces but rather when to do so. According to Beeri’s assessment, on October 7, Hezbollah was on the verge of deciding to execute its longstanding plan.
